The Paint Pot for stolen Horses.
From the Dew York World


All the horses that are stolen in New York
or its vicinity find their way to the horse
market If the dealer is sharp enough to
perceive that the horse offered to him is stol.
en- he buys him very cheap. Then he uses
all his ingenuity to change his appearance.
Painting is frequently resorted to. If the
horse has any white markings they are deftly
painted over; if not, and his color is dark, a
few white spots are painted on. So skillfully
is this done that even dealers are deceived
As soon as a case of horse stealing is reported
to the police a detective is usually sent to
the market. 1t is the exception for him,
however, to recover the horse. The owner
himself would not recognize his animal after
the paint pot had been used. A detective of
the Fifty-nint street police station informed
the reporter that he knew of an instance in
which livery man bought his own horse
from dealer at the market without knowing
it. Although many arrests have been made
in such cases the traffic continues. Capt.
Killilea had detective in the market six
weeks at one time before he could trace a
horse that had been stolen from stable in
West Forty street. Some of the
dealers have stables elsewhere in the city.
When the stolen horse is of such color that
he cannot be painted he is removed to one of
these private stables until the affair blows
| over and he can safely be brought out and
| sold.

TKADES-UNIONS.


One of the most discouraging thiLgs about
the present labor movement is the readiness
of wo1kingmen to submit to almost any kind
of tyranny, provided 1t has the 'tunion" label
on it. The tyranny of the unions is, in many
instances, quite bad as any that is charged
against employers. But the workingmen
don't seem to object to it as they ought to,
though there is some protest.
A Brooklyn carpenter has opened his
mouth, and said what doubtless many good
workmen who belong to unions are thinking
His words deserve attention Says he:
Trades-unions are an unmitigated nuisance.
l have been a carpenter and builder in
Brooklyn for forty five years; have worked
from Fulton Ferry to East New York, and
hundreds on hundreds of the finest buildings
in the city have in them to-day finishing
which these rough hands made, joints which
not one mechanic in a thousand could make
as perfect to-day as they were when first fin
ished. l have always asked and obtained
from two to four shilHngs day more for my
labor than others, no matter what the wages
were. To-day the unions say that Tim Dunn
or Mike Carrigan is as good a workman as I.
LII DuuQ learned nlS LraQ0 SQOVeuQ8 QlfC on
a railroad, and was never in a carpenter shop
long enough to know how to shove jack
plane as he ought to or drive a nail in
straight, yet he wants much as I. \
1t is these Indifferent workers who cause all
the trouble, the loafers and poor mechanics.
For them the union is blessing, for it Of
fers them pay equal to that obtained by me-
chanics, or if they strike it supports them.
Who pays the money for the strikes thougha
Such men as good workmen. And tell
yon honest men who understand their trade
will kick against it before long.
We should not join this carpenter in call
ing trades-unlons an unmltigated nuisance.
They are not that, though they are often
nuisance to both employers and employees.
If well and reasonably managed they can do
good. But many of the performances of the
trades unions of this country during the past
year help to justify the Brooklyn carpenters
opinion of them.

No love word faltered on the trembling air,
No dying whisper hushed the Sobbing breath
With which knelt in motionless despair.
have no right to mourn you. Other eyes
Might watch the glory fading from your own,
And other hands to distant Paradise
Might soothe your way. while knelt on alone.
But when the hours had passed. and all the room
Was wrapped in silence. and the steady light
From yonder lamp all that pierced the gloom
When masses of fresh roses, red and white,
Lay rich with fragrance at your head and feet,
With one bud lying twixt your finger tips,
stood beside you for moment, Sweet,
And stopping, kissed you on the pure, pale lips.
Dear, when you wakened did your spirit weep,
Or IN Its new found wisdom understand
The piteous love which watched that dreamless
sleep,
And sought to follow to the unknown land:
When the clouds lifted from your patient head
And flooded you in light of life divine.
Did my kiss quver DER your lips soft red:
Did any heart-throb whisper it mine?
If on your pea cefulness there sometimes break
A sudden pity for the hopes that died.
If you grow gladder that for your dear sake
A 1ife-work has been blessed and purified
Keep ever in your heart untouched with pain
The memory Of that kiss of sanctity,
And when in Gods own time meet again,
In holy greeting give it back to me.
